This music box is amazing – with a glorious combination of deep relief metal work and music. The silver plate case features a romanticized pastoral scene of 1800’s Europe. Appropriately, the music is also from Europe in the 1800’s. This style of box was a popular tourist item in Switzerland during the middle of the last century. The box has been cleaned and serviced for the next generation to enjoy! Lift the lid to reveal the world-class 6/41 movement from the Swiss craftspeople of Thorens. You will see it is clean and it looks great. The mechanism winds up smoothly and functions perfectly. It switches between the songs effortlessly and automatically. The music starts and stops by opening/closing the lid. The original Thorens tune label is present on the bottom. This six-tune playlist has the warm and lyrical character. The selections come from light opera and traditional European song, giving the playlist a gentle, melodic flow from start to finish. It’s a classic mid-century Thorens set – smooth, familiar, and easy to listen to. Each melody moves naturally into the next. Martha – The Last Rose. Barcarolle – Tales of Hoffmann. Just Once for All Time. The Music of the Village. Open the Window, Spring Is Here. The box is in EXCELLENT condition. It is structurally perfect. The finish is great with very little oxidation or staining. It is lighter and more uniform than the pictures show. There are light scratches on the acrylic pane. Please see the pictures and the video for the beauty of this piece. The musical movement was inspected, lightly cleaned, properly lubricated, and cycled. The sound quality is excellent. It is rich and crisp with great bass. There are a few faint higher mechanical squeaks, but there are NO instances of resonance (squawks/buzzes) that can occur in vintage music boxes. These vintage Thorens boxes are LOUD thanks to the excellent construction. Please see the video and enjoy this wonderful box! The box measures 6-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ x 2-3/4. Over 80% of the boxes that I find have issues that need various fixes — from simple to complex. No (inaccurate) AI generated descriptions! My statements will be backed by quality pictures and a FULL video.

Used condition with some minor wear and marks. For the age in good shape overall. Few details to be aware of. The marble top opens and closes well, but the hinges are a tad loose. The music plays and is well tested. It has a stopper that does work, for example, when you play the music it will not play if closed. However, when you open it, you can adjust the stopper for when you want the box to start playing again. The vintage bronze Beethoven figure is a great add on for this display piece. It is from the same era and is in great shape. You can see the brand on the back of it in the photos.

PLEASE NOTE, this item is listed at a lower price because a couple of the tines are broken off. The music still plays well (watch video to hear it), but it is an imperfection. The only other imperfections are a shallow scratch on the left angels arm, a couple small pen marks on the interior and a couple notches on the bottom of the top interior lid (see photos). Music box is in overall great vintage condition. From a smoke free home.

This decorative collectible features a lipstick or cigarette vanity, with a red carousel design that adds to its charm. With its unique and intricate design, this music box would make a delightful addition to any collection or a special gift for a music box enthusiast. Plays “Green Eyes” while opening, “Skylark” while closing. Does not work independently or consistently, seems like a bit of tinkering would fix it. From a non-smoking home with pets. Does have light perfume odor from being stored with late MILs perfume containers.
